Brandon Sutter scores twice in rout of KingsOctober 09, 2019 | 10:17 PM

Brandon Sutter scored his first two goals of the season during an 8-2 triumph Wednesday against the Los Angeles Kings. Sutter celebrated Vancouver's home opener in style, lighting the lamp at 6:08 of the first period to give his team a 2-0 lead before closing out the scoring at 16:03 of the third. On the former, Sutter buried a one-timer after receiving a touch pass from Jake Virtanen; on the latter, the 30-year-old barely got the puck over the goal line on a play that was reviewed. Despite the strong performance, Sutter is a bottom-six forward who hasn't had more than 34 points in a season since 2009-10 and isn't a fantasy option.
